Meet Hayao Miyazaki
Review:
From one of the most celebrated film makers in the history of animated cinema comes the most acclaimed film of 2002, winner of the Golden Bear at Berlin and the 2003 Oscar for Best Animated Film and the highest grossing Japanese film in Japanese cinema history. Hayao Miyazaki's latest triumph, filled with astonishing animation and epic adventure, is a dazzling masterpiece for all ages.
A fantasy adventure film unlike any other, 'Spirited Away' tells the story ofChihiro, a capricious, headstrong, 10 year-old girl, who believes the entire universe should submit to her every whim. Whilst en-route to a new home, Chihiro and her parents stumble on a mysterious cul-de-sac. Unwittingly they have strayed into the land of the Spirits, a world inhabited by anicent gods and magical beings, riled over by a demonic sorceress Yubaba. Finding an ally in the enigmatic Haku, Chihiro must make herself useful, she must work. Chihiro renounces her laziness, her humanity, her reason, her memories, even her name...
This deluxe 2-disc set overflows with outstanding bonus features, including a Japanese television special about the making of the film, and a storyboard-to-finished scene comparison. The English language version on this disc is executive produced by 'Toy Story' director John Lasseter and features the voices of Daveleigh Chase (Lilo And Stitch, The Ring), Michael Chiklis (The Shield) and Lauren Holly (What Women Want). 'Spirited Away' is a spectacular DVD the whole family will want to experience over and over again!
